Angling guide Michael Flanagan reports on the pike fishing at Lough Ennell…
After all the recent rain and high waters Lough Ennell looked a million Dollars last Sunday Morning as I trolled for pike. It’s still a bit high but the water was quite clear to the naked eye. I had picked up a few colorful Lures from the bargain bucket in Wild Total Outdoors angling center, and the Ennell pike took a shine to some of these lures. Hard to believe you can pick up 6 lures for 20 euro, I remember when these large Bulldags came out first they were 20 Euro each.
The Ennell Pike were in great condition, and I hope to venture back out on Ennell in the coming days. Quite a few locals were out walking near Whitebridge Bay and I met with Frank & Noreen Abbott while walking George his faithful Terrier. Frank soon will be taking the cover off his 19ft Sheelin Boat to do a few days fishing.
start the new year’s angling season.
Stan Ryan and Barry O’Shea were on Ennell last Tuesday and hit the jackpot big time. The lads boated some beautiful looking pike on a variety of colourful lures.
Stan drops in to Mullingar regularly for a day’s pike fishing, and it was my first time to have Barry in my boat. A personal best pike was landed by Barry, and I reckon we will see him back in Westmeath in the coming weeks.
